Science may be least useful in day to day life but to the world in general it is far and away the most useful.

This sort of ranking is pointless. Some A levels are easier to people, e.g. of mine history was harder than drama, but maybe that's because I'm good at drama? Someone who can't act would have found it the hardest one. Someone who is extremely good at science or maths may well struggle with art or politics. In some ways, it is easier to do well in science because it is objective rather than subjective. In A level physics you are either right or wrong on any given answer. In comparison, a history essay has different degrees of right and wrong and depends mostly on opinion.
Of those that I did:

1.R.S (Philosophy and Buddhism) - Hardest
2.Eng Lit (AS)
3.Maths
4.Psychology - Easiest
Chemistry
Physics

Psychology.

Physics/Chemistry
Further maths
Maths
Biology
Psychology
Sciences, Maths, History, languages- hardest
Englishes and social sciences- medium
'Leisure studies' etc- easiest.

But it's all to do with ability. If someone has an average IQ (read 100) then the above is my ranking. If someone is a Maths whizz and artsy subjects don't make any sense, then it gets a bit skewed.

Physics and Math are the easiest for me. But It may be more due to interest.
